Abstract
This paper presents the results of field application of the generalized hydrological simulator proposed in the preceding paper, in which the surface-subsurface fluid/heat processes taking place in limnological system are modeled based upon the air-water-rock interactions.
The field case study is done to evaluate the environmental influence of a multi-purpose dam construction on the temperature behavior of surface water and groundwater in the downstream area. Establishing a 3-D topographical/geological grid model including atmosphere/surface/subsurface regions, one year history matching simulation is done successfully by utilizing the meteorologic records and sets of continuous field measurements with respect to temperatures, flow rate, and groundwater level. The reproducibility of the numerical model is further checked by the subsequent 2-month, daily-based studies, in which the observed behavior of river temperature is satisfactorily traced by the simulator.
